abstract: 'A complete account of the US child care subsidy system requires an
understanding of its implications for both parental and child
well-being. Although the effects of child care subsidies on maternal
employment and child development have been recently studied, many other
dimensions of family well-being have received little attention. This
paper attempts to fill this gap by examining the impact of child care
subsidy receipt on maternal health and the quality of child-parent
interactions. The empirical analyses use data from three nationally
representative surveys, providing access to numerous measures of family
well-being. In addition, we attempt to handle the possibility of
non-random selection into subsidy receipt by using several
identification strategies both within and across the surveys. Our
results consistently indicate that child care subsidies are associated
with worse maternal health and poorer interactions between parents and
their children. In particular, subsidized mothers report lower levels of
overall health and are more likely to show symptoms consistent with
anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Such mothers also reveal more
psychological and physical aggression toward their children and are more
likely to utilize spanking as a disciplinary tool. Together, these
findings suggest that work-based public policies aimed at economically
disadvantaged mothers may ultimately undermine family well-being.
